CC Spyder ... Chassis not very rigid?

I'm currently driving a SL55 and am looking at getting into a Maserati Spyder... I'm focusing on 2004 CC models and have noticed that in '03 the Spyder's received a 20% increase in chassis stiffening so that the body doesn't flex as much.. However, my question is -- How rigid is the '04 Spyder body? Will the chassis flex when going over bumpy roads? Is there a lot of cowl shake? What about comparisons to a 911 (997 model), Mercedes SL, and BMW M3 convertibles? I HATE cowl shake as it makes a car feel cheap... So what are your opinions on those who have driven the spyder and any of its competitors?


Thanks ahead..

...there were some rigidity improvements made after the 2002 year. I could be wrong on this...
You are right. Both 2002 and 03 are stiffer than my 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider though ;)
